Elta System
TLC Solutions
Elta Systems of Israel and Florida-based TLC Solutions were awarded a BIRD HLS grant to jointly develop a cellular geolocation system for first responders to quickly and efficiently locate survivors of natural disasters and victims trapped under rubble.
The companies worked together to advance the Res-Q-Cell system which is activated based on the geo-location of the cellular phones of victims trapped under the rubble of collapsed buildings, independent of the local cellular network. The size of the system was significantly reduced so that it could be installed on small aerial platforms such as commercial drones, as well as on vehicles. The project was successfully completed and is available for search and rescue teams around the world.
